Students gain practical experience by designing, building, and competing with their own hydraulic robotics arm, learning valuable woodworking and engineering skills in a supportive team environment.
The SHC Robotics Summer Camp offers students an immersive, one-week experience in designing and building a hydraulic robotics arm. Participants will work in teams, utilizing a variety of materials to construct their arm with four points of articulation. The curriculum focuses on practical skills, including basic woodworking techniques such as using a drill press, hand saws, and glue guns, all while adhering to essential safety protocols. Students will gain an understanding of how hydraulic systems translate controlled movements into responsive actions in a different location. The camp culminates in a final tournament where teams compete against each other, showcasing their robotic arm creations and problem-solving abilities. Lunch is included daily, and the camp is taught by an experienced instructor with nearly two decades of science and robotics teaching experience.
A typical day involves hands-on team-based work designing and building a hydraulic robotics arm, learning woodworking skills, and understanding hydraulic systems, with a lunch break included.
This camp is ideal for rising 7th, 8th, and 9th graders interested in hands-on engineering, robotics, and learning practical building skills.
